Farrah had been able to sleep all night without having to get up since she was about 4 months old. aside from her and our min pin trading places from the top of the bed to the bottom they don't hardly move. we don't give them any food or treats after 7 pm. i think that helps. they are like toasters in keeping us warm. no need for electric blankets.

our first Basenji Kiah we got her when she was 2 years old. when she was 5 years old we got a min pin that was 6 weeks old. from the first time she saw him she mothered him. she would play with him and also showed him that she was the boss. she gave him a bath everyday. she would start on one side of his body and the give him a little nug and he would turn around and wait until she was done with the other side. we could not take him anywhere with out taking her too. if we did she would sit and weep until he was back home. she lost her sight the last 2 years of her live and he then became her eyes. she would follow him around the yard. if she got to far from him he would go back and get her. the vet that we had at the time told us to always try to bring a puppy in with an older dog and there would not be any problems.

they are sooooo cute!!!

one suggest is if you are feed him can dog food it seems to make the pee more and it contains water

that they are Gremlins. it seems to be getting worse. i have tried everything to keep her from doing it. but she still slips away and chews on the sofa.

welcome
hope you like it here. i just started and really like it here. just wait and Baka may start being vocal. our first B was so we thought until we got Farrah. and she is more so. lots of differant noises. sometime sounds like a cat.

talk about a small world. i'm in Carlinville about 50 miles west of Shelbyville. i use to go to see family that lived in Martinsville. and would go by way of Shelbyville and Matton. Matton had one of the best mexican place at one time. always had to plan the trip so we could eat there. do not belong to BRAT have thought about joining. only problem would having to let them go when they found homes. i get to attached to my dogs.

thank you for the nice welcome. will see if i can get some pictures posted soon. you know like the shoe maker the family had no shoes. i only have a couple that i took with my phone,

Farrah sleeps under the covers in the middle

hello i'm Farrahs_mom
she is our 2nd basenji our first one was kiah we got her when she was 2yrs old. had her for 12 years before she past away. loved her dearly. then when she was 6 yrs old we got a min pin for her to play with. she mothered him. he got a bath everyday by her. she lost her sight the last 2 yrs of her life and he led her around. then 6 months ago our daughter found Farrah for us. she was 8 weeks old and very lovable. Kiah was red and white and Farrah is black and white. she is a hand full. she loves being outside and has even enjoyed the snow that we have here in Illinios. the min pin thinks that he is her boss but she has already started giving him baths. he has taught her that it is best to sleep under the covers with mom and dad that way you don't get cold and then to sleep in the middle so you don't fall out of bed. we love our dogs and spoil them worse than the grandkids.

we had Kiah which we got when she was 2 yrs old and dhe only chew on one arm of a wood rocker. we were able to catch her doing it and made it clear with a shake of the finger that she was not to do it. and she never did it again. she passed await 1 yr ago. and our daughter keep looking for another basenji for us and found Farrah 6 months ago. we didn't have any trouble with her chewing on things until about 1 month ago and then it started. first daddy's glasses (which he left down where she could get them) then next 1 loveseat arm then a sofa arm and now tonight the other end of the sofa. we have tried the sprays that are to help stop the chewing but that doesn't work
she has lots of toys and chew that she like but for some reason she thinks that the sofa and loveseat need have her teeth marks on them. sorry this is so long new to this.
